 Created as a reference project while following the [official tutorial located here](https://docs.vulkan.org/tutorial/latest/00_Introduction.html)
 
-## Compiling
+## Building
 
-Scripts for Linux are located in ./scripts/.
+A windows and linux build_script binary compiled from [this](https://git.catgirls.fish/firewire/build-script) project has been included.
+You can just run that from the root of the repo with `./scripts/build_script build` (or `.\scripts\build_script.exe build` for windows) to build all release types.
 
-Make sure you have a CPP compiler, CMake, and ninja installed.
+Most dependencies are included through the use of CPM, however you will need to install the VulkanSDK, which can be acquired from the [official site](https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home)
 
-- `configure-{type].sh` - Creates and configures the associated build type in ./build/{type}.
-- `build-{type}.sh` - Builds the associated build type in ./build/{type}.
-- `build.sh` - Configures and builds all types in ./build/
-- `clean.sh` - Runs `ninja clean` on all build types
+On linux systems you'll likely need dependencies for GLFW.
+GLFW itself is included with this project, however its a lot simpler to just install glfw through your package manager and have it handle them.
 
-If you are on linux and don't wish you build using the scripts you can go through
-the following steps:
+Ubuntu: `apt update && apt install libglfw3-dev`
 
-1. `mkdir -p build; cd build`;
-2. `cmake ../`;
-3. `make -j 8`
+Fedora: `dnf install glfw-devel`
 
-Windows users, you're on your own. (sorry)
+Arch: `pacman -S glfw`
 
-## Running
-Compiled exe is `triangle` on linux or `triangle.exe` on windows.
+### Building manually
+
+#### Linux
+
+The normal cmake build process is all you need.
+
+1. Make the build directory `mkdir -p build`
+2. Configure the project `cmake . -B build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release`
+3. Build! `cmake --build build`
+
+#### Windows
+
+1. Git clone the repo
+2. Run [cmake-gui](https://cmake.org/download/)
+3. Select the location you cloned the repo into as the source directory
+4. Create a new directory called 'build' in the source directory and select it
+   as the build directory
+5. Configure and generate
+6. Open the generated Visual studio project
+7. Right click the project in the project explorer and select 'build'
+
+## A note for MacOS users
+
+I do not have a MacOS system to build or test on, so building is solely up to you.
+All code has been kept as cross-platform as possible so it _should_ just work,
+but if you run into any issues, feel free to submit a pull request with an updated
+codebase or readme with compilation instructions.
